While i've seen numerous topics on 'which browser is better', most about the ones for windows platform, i can't help it but notice how little some know about the ones for linux. Usually the knowledge is limited to the same old Firefix as the god of the 'penguin land'. Here are a few alternatives, which you might enjoy and are worth a try.
Swiftfox - http://getswiftfox.com/ -
In my opinion it is faster than the original and also it helped to solve a number of problems i was constantly having in Firefox.
IceCat - http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ - IceCat is generally the Firefox original with a couple of improvements
It is also has all the non-free bits removed, meaning it's main purpose is more like an ethical one: 'No to non-free software'.
That's it for now, as these are the ones mostly floating around and i'm also short on time

| 1. Some sites refer to zero-size images on other hosts to keep track of cookies. When IceCat detects this mechanism it blocks cookies from the site hosting the zero-length image file. (It is possible to re-enable such a site by removing it from the blocked hosts list.)
2. Other sites rewrite the host name in links redirecting the user to another site, mainly to "spy" on clicks. When this behavior is detected, IceCat shows a message alerting the user. |
